...principal criticism of Dr. Graham is the oversimplification of the gospel which makes his pronouncements about contemporary social issues practically worthless. For example, I waited all week long to hear what he would say about two important issues on the campus today: race and sexual morality. Concerning the race question, he said that we should change our hearts and was critical of demonstrations. And to the Boston press he made the statement that there was more genuine understanding of the race issue in the south than in the north. But never a discussion of the meaning of social justice...

Patently the eucharist, as the Lord expressly states in the sixth chapter of John's gospel. Which is more truly history, the narration of Luke and Matthew (transeat its literary form), or the eviscerated version lucubrated by the gnosis of the demythologizers? Evidently the former. If the hermeneutical scalpel is to be wielded in public, one must use great care lest he convey to the little ones that Scrooge was correct when he said...
